war correspondents

Lynda Schuster's story of her life abroad as a foreign correspondent in war-torn countries, and, later, as the wife of a U.S. Ambassador.

"In 1937, twenty-eight-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. It's the adventure she's been looking for and her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. But she also finds herself unexpectedly--and uncontrollably--falling in love with Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend. In the shadow of the impending Second World War, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and Cuba, Martha and Ernest's relationship and their professional careers ignite. But when Ernest publishes the biggest literary success of his career, For Whom the Bell Tolls, they are no longer equals, and Martha must make a choice: surrender to the confining demands of being a famous man's wife or risk losing Ernest by forging a path as her own woman and writer."--Provided by publisher.

"Here are the life stories of George E. Stephens and James Henry Gooding, African American soldiers who fought in the Massachusetts 54th Infantry, the famous black regiment of the Civil War, and who were also the first African American war correspondents to report from the battlefield."--OCLC.

In the spring of 1944, Hemingway traveled to London and then to France to cover World War II for Collier's Magazine. Why did he go so late in the war? He had resisted this kind of journalism for years but when he finally made the decision to go, he threw himself into it and became a conduit to understanding some of the major events and characters in the war. He flew missions with the RAF, was on a landing craft on Omaha Beach on D-Day, worked with the French Resistance, rode into the streets of liberated Paris, and was at the German Siegfried line for the horrendous killing ground of the Hurtgen Forest, where the 22nd Regiment lost nearly every man they sent into the fight. It has been argued that after the Hurtgen Forest tragedy, Hemingway was never the same. He used his wartime experiences for much of his later work.

Laura Kasinof studied Arabic in college and moved to Yemen a few years later to work as a freelance journalist. When she first moved to Sanaa in 2009, she was the only American reporter based there. When antigovernment protests broke out in Yemen, part of the revolts sweeping the Arab world at the time, she contacted the New York Times to see if she could cover the rapidly unfolding events for the newspaper. Laura never planned to be a war correspondent, but found herself in the middle of brutal government attacks on peaceful protesters. As foreign reporters were rounded up and shipped out of the country, Laura managed to elude the authorities but found herself increasingly isolated--and even more determined to report on what she saw.
